Often both Home Association and Day Students Association find it to advantage to join hands for some important project. At other times there is wholesome rivalry. If you want to see a hard-fought game, pick a team from each group and put them on opposing sides. Mary Ann Reinhold was the president of that up-and-coming portion of S. T. C.’s pop¬ ulation known as the Day Students. This year the freshmen had to share with the upper classmen the room usually designated as theirs alone. Practice on folk dances, a never-ending flow of talk (and a comparable supply of lunches), the rush of changing classes, and the click of the ping pong ball constitute day student life. Students who have never be¬ longed to the Association got quite a vivid picture of the activitv of its members when they presented their assembly program, “A Day in The Dav Student ' s Room ' Front row — Taylor, Adkins, Riley, Truitt, Roe, Pranis, Nock, B. Wood, Reinhold, M. J. Wood, Hyde, Gross, Murphy, N. Adkins, Downing. Back row — Ravne, Zeigler, Allen, Dashiell, Horsman, Eliz. Wilson, Milling, Cov¬ ington, Timmons, Farlow, Troy, Pittman, Noble, Disharoon, Cooper, Jones, Insley, Kemp, E. J. Brown. .Dorm or Day? 27

Smith, Smithson, Brown, Sehmick, R. Cropper, Mezick, Widdowson, Grey. Tousled heads peering out dormitory doors to ask, “What time is it?” in answer to the startling “Br-l-r-rr” of the seven o’clock bell is the inevitable beginning to a dormitory day. From then until the last giggle after “Everybody not home . . . ,” anything may happen. There may be corn to pop, table lin¬ ens to hem, a dinner to serve, a record to dance to, a joke to tell, or a radio program to hear. Occasionally there are epidemics of studying when the old dorm rings with Ham¬ let’s famous speech or the junior’s noisy flutes, or just the silence that results from extensive concentration on some weighty matter. Problems of group concern are discussed in formal meetings at 9: 30 in Room 269. (Formal? That is, if a meeting at which the participants wear house coats and attempt to eat apples while juggling hair brushes and curlers can be called formal!) At these meet¬ ings Marylee Ruark presided, assisted by Vice-President Marie Young, Secretary Mary Marshall, Treasurer Ann Hutton, and Miss Ruth Powell, Advisor. You Day Students don’t know what it means to live in the dorm. We can be right on hand without catching a bus.” Yes, but look at all the rules and regulations we Day Students don’t have to follow!” The question is a big one, but the argument is friendly. 26

The men, too, feel a need for banding together in order to promote their common interests. They have given tone to their conduct by increased self-government and helped school proj¬ ects to go forward by working in harmony with the two girls’ organizations. The Men’s Association is an asset as a promoter of cooperation. W hen Mr. Benn Maggs left us for the Navy, the men lost not only their coach but also their Dean of Men. It became neces¬ sary for the group to resort to temporary self- government until a new dean could be found. Mr. William Strauglm was the answer to this problem, and the members of the Asso¬ ciation feel especially fortunate in his fine leadership which went on with never a grouch or grumble and always a willingness to lend help and guidance. Following the election made necessary bv the departure of the officers chosen last spring, Ben Nelson took up his duties as president of the Association. Wayne Caw¬ ley, Dan Williams, and Elwood Day became the other officials. It was decided that a defi¬ nite plan for government of the men students was needed, so a committee consisting of one member from each class was appointed to draw up a set of by-laws. Ben Nelson from At desk — Williams, Nelson. Front row, seated — Barnes, W. Murphy, Seidel, Langrall, Duffy, Cawley, W. Potter, Garvin, Collins, Clark, Moore. Second row, seated — Groton, R. Potter, Senter, Stuart, Gibson, Porter, Colgain, Massey, Parks. Standing — Krabill, Cropper, Parsons, Smith, Cullen, Martin, Derby, Vollmer, II. Mikclait, Tyndall, MeNeal, Day, C. Libis, Russell, Winfree, Mittleman, Matthews, Chatham. the Senior Class; Harry Collins, Junior Class; Marshall Moore, Sophomore Class, and George Stevenson, Freshman Class, served in this capacity. One of the most interesting activities of the Men’s Association was the assembly pro¬ gram which it staged. Contrary to the play¬ lets depicting just an average fun-filled day given by the day girls and the dormitory stu¬ dents, the men decided to give a “Woman- less Wedding.” Those who saw the skit hold hilarious memories of the romantic court¬ ship and the beautiful chorus girls who ca¬ pered across the stage. The cast was espe¬ cially well picked with Myron Smith and “Pat” Garvin as Mom and Pop, Jack Matth¬ ews as flower girl, Bobby Martin as the bride’s little brother, and Orland Langrall as the preacher who handcuffed “Dopey” Libis to his bride, Robert Linkins.
